Congress is planning to adjourn tomorrow, another thing for you to be thankful for. ; Just when the average farmer has his hogs ready for market, the prices Slump to figures unprofitable. Is this hormalcy? Four weeks from next Sunday is Christmas, biggest holiday of the year. Are you planning for it? There pre but twenty-eight shopping days left. Any way they are certainly taking the joy out of life for Senator Newberry. His career in the highest law making body in America so far has been just one defense after another. At least he lias the advantage of knowing what his colleagues think of him. A man with less nerve would have resigned long ago. To an outsider it looks as though ■Senator New and Albert Beveridge ‘are lining up for an old fashioned acrap for the contest for the senatorial nomination next spring. Both are in the state making speeches and it is expected New’s announcement of his candidacy will be followed soon tfy Albert Jerry who is apparently feeling his way. If Beveridge goes to it he have to build ail entirely new tnSc-hine for the bld guard is with New and the bull moose organization is extinct. It will be interesting to say the least. Your attention is called to the many snappy and attractive advertisements in today’s issue of the aDiiy Democrat. These carry the messages of many live and progressive merchants in this locality and these stores deserve your patronage. The man who tells you what he has to sell is the man who backs up his business. ' His prices are always the lowest for he moves his goods and for the same reason his goods are always the newest and best. From today's paper you can make up your list of needs for over Thanksgiving. Trade tomorrow. Adjourning after a session of eight months, congress has a pittiful record. Remember the hope we all had a year ago because of the numerous promises during the campaign and then after the house and senate were found to be so overwhelmingly republican, it was expected that not more than a month would be required to dispose of the various problems which had been bolding this country back —and then —what? There began the worst era of nothingness known since time began. They have “horse played,’’ quarreled, built political fences, told the president to go to blazes, wasted time by the month siid now adjourn to eat Thanksgiving turkey and tell the folks at home it was Wilson’s fault. How long are you going to stand for that hunk? It is news to the automobile owners of this county and to those in every county in the state that a set of rules have been adopted and sent out from the secretary of state department which will uniform the law's in each county. One of the points which had caused most trouble and which is now definitely settled Is that as to head and tail lights when a car is parked in a down town district. When on lighted streets the lights need not be used which is certainly good sense. Regulations I

ag to adjusting headlgihts are also made and the owners and drivers oi autos should be interested sufficient ly to read carefully the rules fixed for these are to be rigidly-enforced as they should be. It is a rather difficult job and the officers deserve the co-operation of auto owners and citizens in general that life and rights may be properly protected and defended. Frank Vanderlip, who has. always appealed to finance a measure of constructive imagination beyond the wont of bankers, proposes a ‘ Gold Reserve Bank of United States and Europe." It would be an international bank for the Old World, apparently modeled after the American banking system, and would be intended to do business with each other more freely and satisfactorily. The backing would be American, and there would be a new European medium of exchange, possibly a world medium, based on the American doiiar. The

value of some such institution, if it were possible to establish it, is evident. The money of all European countries is depreciated compared with American money, and the rates of exchange are continually varying. Any plan that would give Europe a better medium of exchange would help Europe to get on its feet and thereby benefit America. At present it is rather edsy to sell goods to Europe, but it is almost impossible to get the money for them. •— WHO’S WHO IN FOOTBALL. New York, Nov. 21.—(Special to Daily ’Democrat).—"Who’s who in football” is now fairly well established. Penn State in the East, lowa in the west, California on the coast and Centre in the south. There may be some dispute about this. Cornell, Lafayette and Washington and Jefferson are undefeated in the east but they haven’t played the schedule that Penn State so far has i gotten away with. Some contended, who have seen western football, that Notre Dame to-| day is as strong as the undefeated lowa eleven, but the fact remains that Notre Dame lost to lowa. The situation on»the coast is clear. California is out and out the champion and perhaps the greatest team developed on the Pacific seaboard — perhaps the greatest team in the country. Georgia Tech may atguo over any effort to crown Centre but Centre beat Harvard, Harvard tied Penn State who walloped Tech. With the exception of a few scat-1 tered games on Thanksgiving day, , the Army-Navy game Saturday and a I few intersections! games, the 1921 season is over. If Penn State defeats Pittsburgh on Thursday, the great. State team will go against the University of Washing-1 ton on December 3rd as the undisputed king of the east. It is too bad that Washington hasn't a better rating on the coast. However, the east coast game now looms up that should be a treat for the football gods—California against Notre Dame. Yale was in line for an invitation to go to Pasadena until Harvard downed the Blue Saturday. Now it is understood that Notre Dame which is re-; garded in the east as one of the great- ■?

est elevens of years will be invited to the jaunt across the continent for the new year’s classic of the coast. Notre Dame is not against traveling and Notre Dame is proud of that team. If the invitation comes Notre Dame is almost sure to go. One of the clearest facts in the semi-tangled eastern situation is that the “big three” is far removed from any championship consideration. The championship title of the “big three" is even undecided. Princeton beat Harvard, Harvard beat Yale and Yale beat Princeton.

ALL NATIONS MUST PROSPER Says Bishop F. I). Ixjete in Address to Methodist National Convention AT DETROIT TODAY Earnest Men Are Calling for a Renewal of Better Tvpes of Faith. — Detroit, Mich., Nov. 19 —Bishop Frederick D. Leete, s»me years since pastor of the Central Methodist Episcopal church, Detroit, Michigan and now In charge of the Indianapolis Area of his denomination, spoke this afternoon at the Methodist National Convention on American Christianity in the World's Life. He declared that “the redemption of the world I cannot be attained by the application of a merely economic principle. Arrange just trade relations, so consti- : tuted that all nations, and not a few only, may prosper. Establish international courts by which strained relations may be composed before serious trouble and strife begin. Form 1 safe associations between the nations of the eqrth. so that they may be able ■ to combine against determined evil i doers. Stop the insane race to see 1 what country can build up the biggest navy and drill the greatest army. All of these measures are good, but they will never save the race from chaos, madness and ruin. A deeper 1 work must be done, and one that goes to the very heart of the troubled from which mankind are suffering. A mighty beginning in this direction was made last Saturday when Secretary Hughes placed before the delegates at Washington, a program of international and human relief which startled the diplomats of the earth. The great thing about that splendid challenge was not the economic saving proposed, and not the reduction in taxes which will be its assured results. The vital and all important fact is the principle of self renunciation on the part of the I chief nation? which it lays down, and which cannot fail to impress upon human thought the sense of sincerity and righteousness. This is America’s great task, one vastly more important than all its farms, its factories and its business institutions. All peoples are looking to this counI try, some hopefully, some fearfully, some jealously, some confidently. They want us to translate Christianity into terms of right conduct and ! relations between states, races and men) The churches of America, then, as creators of its Christian life, are today the center and focug of the world’s deepest need. Nowhere else is there a type of religion which can handle the problems of such a time as this. By reason of reactions from the war European Christianity is unnerved and spiritless. Scholasticism, formalism, sacramentarianism and materialism, on the confession of many leaders, have revitalized the churches of Italy, France and Great Britain. Recent reports made by the church of England are disquieting indeed. The Non-Conformist churches present little that is more reassuring. Earnest men are calling far prayer, penance and the renewal of better types of faith and practice, but they find it somewhat difficult to speak of conditions which exist in terms of optimism. Life, power, aggressive Christianity are in the West. As goes America, so is to go the future, if present signs are in any way reliable. Sir Philip Gibbs says that America shall have her way if it be conceived in righteousness and good will. This will not be possible without the very best type of religion. The Christianity of the United States and of Canada must be raised to its highest possible terms, so that American leadership, service and power may not fail, to the great injury of all human interests. It is the thought and purpose of American Methodism to make the best possible contribution to this undertaking. The ability, number, resources and courage of Methodism summon it to a mighty consecration, and to unsparing labor for the sake of this and of every other land. Methodism is militant body. Its type is practical, inspiring and not speculative. It is reaching up to such gigantic undertakings as the pioneers of an aggressive church never dreamed. W’lth i its great founder, it still loves all the churches which honor and exalt Christ. It does not seek to outstrip other Christian bodies, but is it determined to provoke them to good • w'orks, and to cooperate with them in every project by which humanity i may be uplifted. The forty million ( dollars which this church has put down in cold cash for missions, education and philanthropy within two years is but an ear nest of what it intends to do in days to come, in order that the thousands of new preachers, teachers, evangelists and j missionaries being sent inti the field ?

may succeed in the objects to which 1 their lives are devoted. We are I bringing Methodism to a new faith in the Bible as God's message to the earth, and to a new life of personal prayer and consecration. If Amer- | lean Christianity is humble, serviceable and prayerful, and if, above all, it contains the spirit of the Cross, the moral leadership of the future is in our hands. We heed no longer sing with the poet, who said in America, “Humanity with all its fears with all the hopes of future years, is hanging breathless on thy fate.” Not on the faith of the experimenting democracy which the western republic has made, but on the ideals of this virile people, longing and strug gling millions breathlessly depend. If we fail then God will fail us. We will not fall. Christ Is our leader, onr hearts are fixed in purpose and the cause is just. SULPHURCLEARS HOUGH.RED SKIN Face, Neck and Arms Easily Made Smooth, Says Specialist Any breaking out of the skin, even fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly overcome by applying a little MenthoSulphur, declares a noted skin specialist. Because of its germ destroying properties, this sulphur preparation begins at once to soothe irritated skin and heal eruptions such as rash, pim pies and ring worm. It seldom fails to remove the torment and disfigurement, and you do not have to wait for relief from embarrassment. Improvement quickly shows. Sufferers from skin trouble should obtain a small jar of MenthoSulphur from any good druggist and •use it like cold cream. MONROENEWS John Thatcher arrived here Friday from Windsor, Can., where he had been for several years. Mr. was formerly a resident of this place. Glen Halberstadt of Colon, Mich., visited friends here several days’ last week. Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Crist and Mr. and Mrs. John Floyd left here Sunday for Elkhart, where they had been called to attend the funeral of a relative which took place on Monday afternoon. The first and second basketball teams of the high school left for Pennville, Indt, Friday, where they played two games. Both games.were won by the local teams. The first team won by a score of 35 to 26, the second team by a score of 33 to 13. Both sides fought for supremacy and the games were spirited and many fine plays made. The first local team is said to be better than last year. They are fast and are doing excellent team work, and have played four games, and won four. The same can be said of the second team, as they also have played and won four games The next games will be at Montpelier next Friday evening by both teams. John Gilbert of Hillsdale, Mich., was here last week visiting friends and relatives. Mrs. Sadie Scherer returned from Fort Wayne Saturday, where she had been for the past week visiting at the home of Mrs. Wittner. Mr. and Mrs. Harve Rupert, the newlyweds, arrived from their honeymoon trip at VanWert, 0., where they had been for a few days. On Sunday a dinner was given in their honor. A large number of relatives and friends attended at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Mitchell. Next Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. The business houses will be closed, special services will be held at the churches. Many big dinners will be served and while these are being enjoyed it would be well to remember the less fortunate, who are unable to afford the luxury of an excellent dinner. While we have but very few persons in Monroe, who cannot enjoy a large feast, yet our more fortunate people should see that they are supplied with some of the good things on this occasion. We have much to be thankful for at this time.
